New Jeans creator and ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin is under fire for allegedly plagiarizing the 1982 hit song ‘Easier Said Than Done’ by Shakatak. Min Hee-jin worshippers say she’s just sampling the Brit pop song. However, everybody knows what a ‘sample’ is when they browse at Costco and it appears Ms. Ador ate the whole bag before paying.

Yet, even if the ‘sampling’ may be legal, can ADOR really accuse everyone else of copying with a straight face? And how does Shakatak feel about this situation? Oh yes, I got the receipts. Check out the video to find out and click the links below to hear and judge for yourself. And btw, even the fonts on their album covers are similar!
